Many people credit Abraham with having monumental faith that moved mountains, this includes the author of Hebrews. He did have faith. He was also just a man. A man with faith is still a flawed man. So am I. So are you.
Can we have that same mountain-moving faith? Galatians lists the fruit of the Spirit. Faith is on that list. We can have faith because God supernaturally downloading it into our system. He is the author and perfect or of our faith. Since he is the author of faith, that tells me that faith comes from on high.
Jesus talked a lot about faith during his short time on earth doing ministry. He told many that they were healed by their faith. He was also the one who pointed out those were of little faith. Faith in him and his father was a priority for him. He said that if we had faith of a mustard seed (Matthew 17:20), we could move mountains by our word. That's what I'm talking about!
I saw this shirt in the toddler clothing section at Target. I thought it was cute. Then, I thought to myself "why don't they have these for adults?" Adults need encouragement, too.
We need to have faith. We need the Lotd Almighty to help us with our faith and in our unbelief.
Our small group discussed faith recently. In preparation, I felt that we needed a reminder. I put together the mustard seed scripture and a quote and packaged it with a mustard seed. We can have a mustard seed to look at as a gentle nudge that faith sustains us in the tough times and smooth times, too.
